Description

The Callendar Estate Mountain Bike Trails, including Greenrig Bike Park, are located just outside Falkirk and are owned by the Callendar Estate. The site offers four trails, each named after the woodland they pass through. The trail network includes blue and red graded climbs and descents, a red jump trail, and a beginner skills areaThe trails feature Freestyle Velo wooden elements, adding variety and challenge. The range spans from a family-friendly green loop to a more technically demanding red route with optional orange (expert) features. Greenrig Bike Park, also on the estate, provides additional jumps and features for more advanced riders.

Canada Trail (Green)

  • This is a green trail suitable for novice mountain bikers. The trail twists and turns through Canada Wood and also offers a short Blue Grade boardwalk section for those who are looking for more of a challenge. Overall the trail is 4.1km long and should take about 30 minutes to complete.

Craigieburn Trail (Blue) 

  • This blue graded trail is ideal for those who have tried the Canada Trail and are looking for more of a challenge. This trail offers a few gentle hills and some twisting descents. The trail is 3.4km long and should last around 30 minutes. 

Kilbean Trail (Blue with Red Sections & optional Orange) 

  • This trail offers a mixture of both blue and red sections so is an ideal warm-up trail for those who are hoping to ride the full red Auchengean Trail. Riders can also exit from the trail and take the fire road track down towards the Auchengean trail if they are not finding it challenging enough. The trail is 3.3km long and takes 30 minutes to complete..

Auchengean Trail (Red) 

  • This Auchengean trail is graded red. It is usually ridden as an extension to the Craigieburn Trail but riders can connect via the Kilbean Trail. The trail itself is full of both strenuous climbs and rewarding descents that should keep the rider entertained. Ridden as an extension to the Craigieburn trail it is 7.5km long and takes around 45 minutes. The trail includes an opt-in orange route with obligatory gap jumps as below

Jack's Track (Orange)

  • Jack's Track is a new Freeride section of trail. It is for highly skilled riders with advanced riding skills only. You will find skinnies, berms and compulsory gaps jumps and large drops with no chicken run.

Greenrig Bike Park 

  • The Bike Park has a pump trail, a technical rock trail, two jump lines, one featuring a mellow wallride and a beginners area with some basic features to try.

Good local facility

The volunteer trail building group are a sound group of guys and girls who are always looking for more help.

What do you like?

Local trails which are perfect for family rides and maintaining fitness. Skills area is fun for messing about, as is the red graded area. Trails are hard wearing so great for winter. Exellent facilities and with high end resturaunt in the free car park.

What could be improved?

I would like more of it and there is not alot in the way of 'natural' lines.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Maintenance group very cliche and don't seem to want input/help from trail users.

What do you like?

Usually usuable 24/7 in all weather. Family friendly. Good for beginners or repetitive training laps. Joins the Helix path network so rides can be extended far and wide. Developments underway... fingers crossed they are good.

What could be improved?

Grading is very misleading. Whole place is more like a green/blue route when compared to anywhere else. Could do with better maintenance in summer when the foliage starts to wander.

Would you recommend?
